Pamella

Im in the kitchen making Sophie a bottle and Chloe walks in with my phone and hands it to me. I took it, sat it down on the counter, and continued to poor Sophie's milk. The conversation between me and Chloe went something like this;

Chloe: no! mom I need to call somebody
me: who do you need to call
Chloe: I need to call my Pam and tell her to come home now so I can go and see her at Ellen's
me: (looking sad for her)
me: but Chloe we cant call cousin Pam.
Chloe: Why
Chloe: because shes far away and not coming back?
me: oh Chloe! Pam is going to come back! She loves you sooo much!!
Chloe: but I need to see her
me: I know.
So I pulled up her blog and Chloe sat on my lap and we looked at all the pictures of Pamella. Here are Chloes favorites

that store with the BIG bear

I tackled it. I took the kids to mall by myself!!! Now maybe to some of you this isn't a big deal and that is for 1 of 2 reasons.
1. you have never met my kids.
2. you have never met me.
So we were walking toward the play area at Arrowhead and Chloe saw it. It was inevitable. And then she asked "can we go into that store with the BIG bear"! Now if you have ever meet Chloe then you know that I couldn't resist! It was her first time inside of Build a Bear (unless you count the time she was in my womb). She was so excited! So much so that I was unable to take pictures!!

Chloe and her "Pada Bear"

After Chloe made her Panda Bear she decided that Sophie needed a bunny so she wont be sad. Let me tell you, Chloe is so sweet when it comes to Sophie and not leaving her out! So Chloe found the perfect bunny filled it with stuffing and kissed her heart and placed it deep inside the bunny. I asked her if she made a wish for Sophie and she said "yes, for a bunny"! Aww When it was all done and washed and brushed she gave it to sister and sissy gave Chloe the biggest, make your heart melt with happiness smile!! Needless to say, Sophie did not let that lil bunny go all night!

After the bunny and panda makin' we made it to the play area. Of course the kids were all over the place.

Sophie tried following the kids while they ran in circles screaming foreign languages, but being so tiny she couldn't keep up. She found a shiny cactus like slide and slobbered all over it. yay for disinfectant!!

Chloe tried running with the "big" crowd. They wanted nothing to do with her! It was sad. At one point they blocked her so she couldn't climb on the car and when she asked them if she could play they told her no. In her sad voice she asked them why and they told her because they were locking her out! It was the saddest thing ever!! Chloe said to them, are you going to lock me in a cage (i don't know why she associated that with a cage?!?) and the little girl said yes!!! Practically in tears and barley a whisper she said why and the girls just turned away from her.
Sooooo Sad!
I wanted to cry for her!!
She went and found Sophie and then we left.
I loaded the girls in the car.
Made it out of the mall parking lot,
to the light by Old Navy
and they were both out!
LOVE it!!

stand by the wall so I can take your picture Chloe...

No honey! You have to turn around so I can take your picture!

Today after work we went to the park. The kids LOVE the park. I think that they love it more then anything else in the entire world for those few moments when they can run with the wind in there hair and sand in there tennis shoes! I would have to say that there favorite part of going to the park are the swings!

...but my favorite part

is the drive home...

The Phoenix Zoo

Friday Summer and I took the kids to the Phoenix Zoo. It has been years since Ive been there!! I vow that I will never, never! go to the Zoo with Summer again!!! When I was younger I had the energy for the zoo but now with two little ones and an awkward work schedule, not so much! Needless to say I was exhausted!! I wanted to leave before the Lions and Tigers. Chloe and Summer just wouldn't have it! According to Chloe we HAD to see Simba (the lion king) and Tigger (winnie the pooh) and we couldnt leave until we did!!

Sophie was excited to see the animals!
